**🚀 UPDATE: MEETUP CAPACITY LIMITED (Moving to Luma)** RSVPs are limited on Meetup, but we have opened additional spots on our new official platform, Luma. 👉 Secure your priority spot here: [https://luma.com/bcbf10yp](https://luma.com/bcbf10yp) ℹ️ Why are we moving to Luma? We are progressively moving the Lux Finance Circle to Luma to offer a cleaner, professional experience: **📢 Welcome to our next Lux Finance Circle meetup!** For a decade, buying in Luxembourg felt like a sure thing. Prices only went up, rates were near zero, and the only real question was how much you could borrow. That world is gone. Prices have cooled from their peak, mortgages cost far more than they did three years ago, and the people who used to say "just buy, you can't lose" have gone quiet. So if you are sitting on a down payment right now, what do you actually do? Buy before prices recover? Keep renting and invest the difference? Wait for rates to fall? Most people answer this with their gut, with pressure from family, or with a number their bank advisor handed them. Almost nobody runs the real math. This session is an open, structured discussion about how to think about buying versus renting in Luxembourg today. Not the "rent is throwing money away" cliché, and not the "you'll be priced out forever" fear. The real version: what genuinely goes into the decision, and how to know which one leaves you richer over your actual time horizon. **🧭 Format of the Event** This is a casual, discussion-based gathering with no long presentations. We'll sit around the table, and your host Romain will kick things off with a short introduction covering: * The true cost of buying that almost nobody counts: notaire fees, registration duties, maintenance, and the money your down payment could have earned elsewhere * Why "rent is dead money" is only half true, and when renting is actually the smarter financial choice * The breakeven: how many years you need to stay in a home before buying beats renting * The Luxembourg specifics that change the math, including the Bëllegen Akt credit, today's mortgage rates, and a market that is no longer only going up We'll also walk through a simple buy-vs-rent calculator you can use afterward to run your own numbers. From there, we open the floor for discussion. Bring your situation, your numbers, and your skepticism. **Recommended Preparation** Before the event, think about this: if you are leaning toward buying, do you know how many years you would need to stay in that home just to break even versus renting? And if you are renting, do you know what you would need to invest each month for renting to come out ahead? 👥 Who Can Join? Everyone is welcome. This discussion will be especially valuable if you are: * A resident sitting on a down payment, unsure whether to buy now or keep waiting. * Someone who feels the pressure that renting is wasting money, and wants to test whether that is actually true for your situation. * A current owner wondering whether your next move is to upgrade, stay put, or sell and rent. 🤝 Bring a Colleague Know someone who keeps saying they "need to get on the property ladder" but has never run the numbers, or someone agonizing over a buy decision right now? Bring them along. 📌 Practical Info * 🗓️ Date: Tuesday, June 30th, 2026 at 18:30 * 🗣️ Language: The event will be in English. * 📍 Location: Hotel Le Place d'Armes (18 Place d'Armes, Luxembourg), in the alcove at Bar Le 18. Ask at reception for directions if you are unsure. * 🍻 Drinks: Drinks are self-paid at the venue bar. * 👥 Limited Seats: Please RSVP so we can manage space.

**Welcome to our June UX Beers in Antwerp!** This time, we will host our event on Tuesday the 30th of June at Craftzing in Antwerp.

So with AI emerging, it can feel like a lifeline: faster prototyping, '*deeper*' research, and more concepts to explore. But somewhere between the third AI-generated prototype and losing the thread of your prompted designs, it can become painfully obvious what the impact is of designing with LLMs. We're not executing anymore, we're reviewing, approving, and critiquing, like a manager. This talk gets honest about what that actually means: the speed gains are real, but the cognitive debt is quietly compounding, and your future as a designer depends on understanding why. Explore how designers can protect their cognitive depth, enhance their review capacity, and stay in control when the machine can almost draw anything. **Talk 2:** **Growing UX in organisations that are not there yet.** By Koen Peters, Designer at Namahn More and more organisations are asking us to help build design expertise in-house, even putting together a design team for them. I have learnt that in such cases, you need to set aside your own biases and assumptions first: your neatly mapped-out methodology, your Figma dogmas and all the other things you as a design agency take for granted. The reality in these organisations is often very different: limited resources, no design culture and few or no trained designers on the team. Through a few client case studies, I will show how we have tackled such challenges. Organising a training in UX and design thinking is a good first step, offering a chance to get to know the team and identify which skills are already there and which are missing. I will also demonstrate tools and activities that we have used to help a team get started and become more aware of UX research and design. These include a script for choosing the right UX approach, skills assessment models to identify gaps and first steps towards creating a design playbook. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

Growth sounds exciting… until it starts demanding change. Many people say they want confidence, better relationships, clarity, purpose, discipline, peace, a new career, a new identity, or a completely different life. But when real growth actually begins, something unexpected happens: resistance. We overthink. We delay. We go back to familiar habits. We question ourselves. We stay in environments we’ve already outgrown. We become uncomfortable when challenged. We want transformation… without losing the version of ourselves that feels safe and familiar. And this is where many people get stuck. Not because they are lazy or incapable. But because growth is uncomfortable by nature. It asks us to let go of old patterns, old beliefs, old coping mechanisms, and sometimes even old versions of ourselves. And that can feel confusing, lonely, frustrating, and deeply uncomfortable. Especially when one part of you wants change… while another part desperately wants certainty. This Gather & Grow event is for people who feel they are somewhere between: – who they used to be and – who they are becoming. Together, we will explore: – why growth feels difficult even when we truly want it – why people stay stuck in familiar patterns – fear of change and self-sabotage – confidence, self-worth, and identity shifts – the discomfort of outgrowing old versions of ourselves – the difference between talking about growth and actually living it – why awareness alone is often not enough to create change This is not just a casual discussion circle. Gather & Grow is a facilitated experience designed to encourage reflection, awareness, honest conversations, deeper understanding, and meaningful personal growth. You are welcome to participate at your own pace, but come with openness, curiosity, and willingness to think beyond your usual patterns. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming. Most people don’t. Sometimes growth simply begins by finally having the conversations we usually avoid. 📍 Location: I AM WOW – City Concord Free parking available. Please arrive a little earlier to order your drink so we can begin together on time. If you feel like you’ve outgrown parts of your old life but don’t fully know what comes next yet… this conversation is probably for you.
